Dantooine Side Quests
Last Edited: January 29, 2015 at 3:30 AM
This part of the Dantooine walkthrough deals with any "side quest" not yet dealt with in the previous part of the walkthrough. Since Dantooine is such a straight-forward planet as far as linearity is concerned, the only way to integrate the side quests into the walkthrough is to make a separate section for them here.
You will find all of the side quests on the planet discussed here minus the side quest that takes place with the Twi'lek on the bridge, in which you have to figure out who murdered an innocent person. That side quest I entitled "Who's Guilty?" and it's located in the initial part of the Dantooine walkthrough.
Side Quest: The Matale and Sandral Affair
This is a long, drawn out side quest. You should know that much before getting underway.
This quest automatically begins when you speak to Zhar and Vandar after you complete the 3rd Jedi trial. After you begin the quest leave the Jedi Council building and go out to the fields beyond the city and Jedi Council area. You'll need to go to the Matale Grounds, which can be accessed by walking past the Rodian selling weapons and taking the first right turn into the next area. You'll need to go to the far right end of the Matale Grounds, fighting off any remaining Kath Hounds. When you get to a valley on the right side, you'll find a corpse. Search the corpse to find some goods, including Casus' diary. Casus is the dead Sandral boy that Ahlan Matale was talking about when he interrupted a Jedi Council meeting when you became a Padawan! You'll need to take this information and go to the Matale's residence, which is located back the other way from where you found the corpse of young Casus.
Go to the front entrance of the Matale mansion and talk to the armed droid. When he asks what you're doing here, tell him you are here on behalf of the Jedi Council. This will instantly prompt the droid to go get his master, and his master does come out to speak with you under heavy armed guard. He'll instantly blame the Sandrals for kidnapping his son named Shen. He tells you the story of how Sandral droids were found on his property and destroyed by his own security droids. He wasn't going to risk the reason (assassination, spying, et cetera) the droids were there for. This angered the Sandral estate and he is hell-bent on the fact that the Sandrals kidnapped his boy because of this! The Sandrals and Matales are in constant dispute, it seems. Eventually, Ahlan Matale offers you 1,000 Credits (that you don't have to give to the Council, as he insinuates) to find his son. You can tell him to up it to 2,000, not to give you anything, or accept the offer. Whatever you do, we now have to go to the Sandral Estate.
Once you get to the Sandral Estate (which is easy to find, it's south on the Sandral Grounds), go to the front entrance of the mansion and talk to the droid there. Tell the droid, when he asks what you're doing here, that Casus is dead. When you tell him this, the droid will let you inside immediately so that you may talk to the head of the Sandral household. Once inside, you will talk with Nurik, Casus' father. When you tell him that Casus was killed by Kath Hounds, he seems surprised, because he was certain that the Matales were to blame. He then asks for his son's diary, which you have. He'll give you 100 Credits for it. You can be a Light Side kind-of guy and refuse the money, take the money, or talk him up to 200 Credits to get closer to the Dark Side. Whatever you do, he promptly ends the conversation thereafter, and you find yourself back outside.
This is not the end of the side quest, however. When you get outside, another cutscene ensues in which the daughter of Nurik comes outside. Rahasia (the girl) is obviously beating around the metaphorical bush about something. Don't get too angry or uppity at her and she'll eventually spill the beans to you - Nurik Sandral really did think that the Matales kidnapped Casus, and so he kidnapped their boy Shen in return. Even though he now knows that the Matales were not responsible for the disappearance of Casus (as Kath Hounds killed him), he still doesn't care. He wants vengeance, and Rahasia is afraid that if Shen isn't rescued immediately, that Shen will be hurt or killed. She gives you a key card that will open the door at the back of the Sandral Estate. Leave and go around the back of the house. Open the door and enter back into the estate through this back, now-unlocked door.
Once you enter the house through this back entrance, a droid will attack you from the left. Additionally, you'll need to disable a mine in front of you. Kill the droid and disable the mine. The door beyond the mine is our first target. It's locked, so pick the lock and enter the small room. There's a footlocker within it, in which you'll find an Advance Medpac. Go back to the previous corridor now. In the adjacent room to your right, the door will be open but the footlocker will be locked. Pick the lock on the footlocker and inside you'll find 30 Credits and a Medpac. Work your way, now, to the next door around on the other side of the corridor. Pick the lock of this door and you'll find Shen! He's not going anywhere, however. He fears for the safety of Rahasia, and will only leave if she goes along with him. It's that simple. We now have to go find her and give her this information.
The room next to where Shen was is the Security Control Room. Within you'll have to fight some fairly powerful droids. Once they're dead, explore the room their in, as there are two footlockers there. Within the two footlockers, you'll find a Computer Spike and 2 Repair Kits. Then go out through the left side door, where you'll run into even more droids. Once the three droids in this room are defeated, go to the two footlockers on the left side of this particular room, and grab the Response Package, 2 Frag Grenades and the Light Scan Visor out of them. Then, go forward through the door and out of this room completely. (Make sure to grab the Sonic Rifle from the large locker in the room as well).
You'll meet a lone droid sentry in this corridor - other than that, we're going to go from room to room to grab goods and kill enemies (for experience). We'll go from right to left. In the right-most room, you'll find a lot of droids you can kill, and at 300 experience a pop, it's not a bad idea to clip them all. There's a computer console in there you can hack if you so desire as well. In the next room over, there are no enemies, but in the footlocker in the room, you'll find 25 Credits and a Medpac. Going further left (skipping the door we came into the corridor via), you'll find an empty room with nothing in it. The next room over has more enemy resistance and a footlocker holding the Prison Key within it.
Leave the room out of the other door in there, and you'll be back in a corridor. The next room over is Rahasia's. Tell her about how Shen won't leave without her, and she'll easily agree to meet him outside. Time is of the essence however! Before leaving her room, make sure to search the footlocker within to find 25 Credits and a Medpac. Then go back to Shen's room, tell him the scenario, and you'll find yourself outside before long. The two will speak, and you will find that you now have a hell of a choice to make.
Basically, you'll be making a lot of choices in the upcoming conversation. You can convince them all to kill each other, you can try to convince them to let the kids be, you can convince the two children to split up. There are so many possible outcomes to this side quest that it's impossible to both name them all and go into detail on how to have them occur. Your best bet is to try to persuade the parents to let the kids stay together. If you fail, the children will run off to the enclave to be with each other. The parents will be mad at you, but if you succeed, then all will end well. It's a chance you'll have to take! For dark side points, of course, you can have them all kill each other. That's always a good time.
Side Quest: Mandalorian Raiders
Dantooinesq01.JPG
There's a guy, he goes by the name of Jon, and he can be found near the exit of the Jedi Council building on the field-side. When you first pass him, you automatically talk to him, so you should know who I am talking to and where you can find him. When you talk to him, he will spin a tale (which is a true tale, so I shouldn't say "spin" but whatever) of how the Mandalorians in the area have been wreaking havoc upon him and his family. Knowing that you are indeed a righteous Jedi (although you are only an apprentice when you first meet him), he wants you to find the Mandalorians in the area and kill them all. Accept his offer.
The Mandalorians are spread out in three core groups throughout the various fields ahead, in the Grove and elsewhere. They are easy to find and often found accompanied by weaker Duros. The Mandalorians all put up fierce resistance, and you should attack them before the Duros that accompany them in all battles, since the Duros can do very little and the Mandalorians can do a lot more damage. When all three core groups are defeated, go back and talk to Jon. He'll tell you to go after their leader, and only then will they stop their harassment of the locals.
Go back into the fields ahead of him. The group leader (and his posse) can be found by going past the Rodian weapons dealer near where Jon is (but outside of the confines of the Jedi Council building), heading forward and then left, further into the fields. Go left and forward through various tall rocks. Beyond that, you'll want to go right, into the next area, and go right through this area, into the Grove. Go forward through this area, and you'll run into the Mandalorian leader we've been searching for.
After some threats of how he's going to kill you and take your lightsaber, the fight begins. You'll want to begin by aiming a grenade (whether it be CryoBan or Frag) at the leader of the Mandalorian, so you take off some of his health, and the health of those surrounding him as well. This is a difficult battle, so save beforehand and go in with full health, prepared. You're best off in this battle with out your lightsaber. Equip duel blasters and you'll be better off. After the initial grenade attack, begin to duke it out with the leader of the Mandalorian, and let the other two in your party fight off the rest of the foes. Heal when necessary and keep an eye on the others' health in the party. The Mandalorian leader has shields equipped, so you have to damage him a lot before it actually begins to show! When he's dead, search his body (for two lightsabers, amongst other things!), as well as the bodies of his posse.
Go back and talk to Jon where he was when you talked to him earlier. Let him know you've killed the leader of the Mandalorian, and he'll give you many thanks. In addition, he rewards you with 1,000 Credits! You'll get 250 experience points for your troubles as well. Good work!
Side Quest: The Missing Droid
Right outside of the Dantooine Jedi Council building, you'll see a woman standing by a landspeeder. Talk to you and she'll throw words at you at a frantic pace. It seems her "companion" is missing... she conveniently leaves out until deep in the conversation, however, that her companion is a personal assistance droid that her late husband built for her. It's the last living piece of her husband that she has left, and the droid has now gone missing! Simply agree to look for the droid, and we'll go take care of this side quest right away.
The droid is located in the part of the fields beyond the Jedi Council buildings called the Sandral Grounds. The Sandral Grounds are located deep in the fields, beyond the Grove area. Once you get through to the Sandral Grounds, you'll find the droid being attacked by a plethora of Kath Hounds. Shoot them all, getting rid of each one, and then approach and talk to the droid. He introduces himself as C8-42, a personal assistance droid, just like the woman near the speeder described. He says that she has a very, very addictive personality pertaining to him, that he is treated as if he is her dead husband! He wants nothing but for her to be happy by meeting real people, and he asks the party to kill him. You have choices from here...
Your options are to destroy the droid and tell the woman that you've destroyed it. This will eventually net her a real-life companion and is the Light Side choice to make. The neutral choice is to make him go back to her, which he'll agree to do. And if you want to be an evil bastard, feel free to kill him and then go back to the woman and tell her he's still alive! Oh, that's just plain wrong, but it's all in good fun. Whatever it is that you decide to do, this side quest is as good as over by the time you go back to talk to her after killing the droid or making him go back with her.
